Description: | Just over half of a Lower Palaeolithic bi-face handaxe. The suggested date range for this implement is 500,000BC - 300,000BC.
The object would originally have been sub-oval. It is fairly simple in form, having been created by the removal of large, broad flakes and shaped to a rough point at end. The flint is heavily patinated and mid orange-brown in colour.
The implement measures 92.6mm long by 87.9mm wide and 38.3mm thick; it weighs 291.39g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -500000
